Very nice pictures Denis! I think picture number 3 is showing a Solitary Sandpiper. The spotting on the dark back, the eye ring and the greenish base on the bill point to Solitary Sandpiper.

Regards,

The last bird is a Least Sandpiper. Pectoral Sandpipers are a little bigger ("medium-sized"), have extensive dense breast-streaking and a more prominent eye-stripe. Nice image!

Edit: Also, note that the bill is not all-black on Pectoral.
